Future former OBGYN physician. Not your emotional support blonde. This bio used to say, “Do not obey in advance”, but it’s now down to just “Nope.”

I believe it is good to be polite to robots not because they have consciousness (they do not) but because it is bad for the soul to let oneself become a vehicle for cruelty, even if directed at inanimate objects.

Would you really like to live in a society where you have no responsibility and no freedom, no choice, only the false option of obedience to the law, or disobedience followed by punishment? Would you really want to go live in a prison?

WHICH Senator with brain damage? You gotta specify. There’s at least one in each party.

Her name is HARMONY? If she married into that name there’s no excuse.

When my cat got radioactive iodine for hyperthyroidism, they kept her for 3 days in a lead-lined room at the veterinary hospital, sent her home for 6 weeks’ confinement in the basement. Precautions included limiting human interaction to <5 minutes a day and hazmat disposal of litter.

Reading back-to-back Cory Doctorow @doctorow.pluralistic.net —Enshittification and The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI—and this combo had me wondering if I should buy a pitchfork from Amazon or is that just trying to use the master’s tools to dismantle the master’s house.

New dog. And new cat.

I guess you read that incomprehensible interview from the White House. Gotta feel bad for the interviewer.

This is so painful to read, can’t imagine how it was to conduct the interview. Just random fireflies beeping in a jar while slowly dying.

“the question for Americans is not whether Trump is our Caesar. Our bigger concern should be if this is more like our age of Marius and Sulla, the generals and magistrates (Rome had no clean division between the two roles) who inflicted wounds on the republic that proved fatal in the long term.”

The journal editor is right to be angry about this, but it would be more intellectually consistent not to have outsourced to AI his verification questions.

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis.

The imposing Callanish Stones stand talk with their shadows spanning out across the glass.  It's a super clear sky, but looks cold. Above the central stone is a strange figure-of-8 shape of dots.  This is the location of the Sun, at noon, on various different days across the year.

From the Yale rare books collection: This typo cost the printer his license, 1631. Missed a “not” among the Ten Commandments.
Page from a 17th century Bible, seen thru glass. Text of note is circled in yellow. In the list of the 10 commandments, the printer missed a “not” so the commandment reads, “Thou shalt commit adultery.” Smudge & scribble over the line shows where someone has tried to add a “not”.
